“The mosquitoes are mutating and are changing their patterns”

SALUD por DERECHO "Mirriam Banda is a midwife, nurse, administrator, counselor and health advocate for 15,000 residents of her community in eastern Zambia at the Kafumbwe Rural Health Center in Katete District. She is married and a mother of three children. In 2011, a severe malaria outbreak nearly cost her daughter her life. The ordeal continues to deeply affect Mirriam, who also battled malaria numerous times during her childhood – so many that she cannot remember the exact number. Today she faces the disease day after day in her work and her community and, in the context of World Malaria Day (April 25), we spoke to her."
